Greetings friends of humanitarian engineering, Thanks to the generous support from Dick and Gretchen Evans, it is time for the annual Spring call for proposals for the Evans Family Graduate Fellowships. This opportunity can provide between $2k and $10k of travel or stipend support for graduate students working on humanitarian related projects (details attached). The submission deadline this term is March 7th. If you know of graduate students within or outside the College of Engineering who meet the criteria, please do consider inviting them to apply. And of course, feel free to reach out with any questions. ~Nordica Nordica A.

2024 Colorado WASH Symposium
by Hannah Cairney 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Good Afternoon, My name is Hannah Cairney, and I am currently on the planning committee for the 2024 Colorado WASH Symposium. The symposium is an entirely-student run conference hosted as a hybrid event at the University of Colorado Boulder focused on providing a platform for sharing and expanding collective knowledge in the field of water, sanitation, and hygiene in both domestic and international contexts. Since its establishment in 2012, the symposium has brought together leaders and WASH practitioners in social enterprises, the private sector, NGOs, academia, and development agencies every year for a two-day conference filled with networking events, panels, presentations, posters, and interactive sessions. The Colorado WASH Symposium is deliberately small and intimate - designed around in-depth conversations and unrushed sessions where each individual’s contribution is valued. I noticed that your Humanitarian Engineering program seems closely aligned with our mission statement and is similar to our program here at CU and am reaching out to see if anyone involved in your program would be interested in submitting an abstract to be a presenter at our conference. This year’s symposium will be held both in-person and virtually on March 7th and 8th, 2024 and, in keeping with a tradition of accessibility and community engagement, the event is free and open to anyone interested in attending. Abstract submissions are due this Friday, December 1st, but registration will be opening by early January and will remain open until the symposium. I have the link to our website <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.colora…> as well as the abstract submission form <https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…> attached here. If you could pass along this information to any students, researchers, or professors who might be interested in participating, I would greatly appreciate it! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. We hope to see some of you at the symposium this year! Thank you, Hannah Cairney
